The 49-year-old superstar made the announcement earlier today (April 6, 2016) that she and her husband are planning a family so she’s putting her tour on PAUSE.

While Jackson didn’t mention she was actually pregnant with her first child, she did say that she’s under doctor’s orders to rest.

More details + watch Janet’s video announcement below…

Jackson, who turns 50 next month, posted a special announcement to her millions of followers, stating:

We’re in the second leg of the tour, and there actually has been a sudden change.

I thought it was important that you be the first to know.

My husband and I are planning our family, so I’m going to have to delay the tour. Please, if you can, try to understand that it’s important that I do this now. I have to rest up; doctor’s orders. But I have not forgotten about you.

VIDEO: Special Announcement From Janet Jackson (4/6/16)

As you know, Janet started the tour last August but announced just before Christmas that she was postponing the tour for a surgical procedure. At that time, she asked for prayers of support but gave no further details about her condition.

Two weeks later she announced rescheduled dates for the tour, which was to resume on 14 May. Now in today’s clip, which is just under two minutes long, she thanks fans for support and assures them that they tour will resume once she’s done birthing babies.

“Once again, thank you to all the fans for your love, your undying love; your loyalty that means so much to me.

“You’re truly appreciated. It’s been a long journey and you guys have been there each and every step of the way and I really do appreciate that. Thank you so much.

“Inshallah (If Allah wills it), I will see you soon. I love you. Bye.”

I think she has always wanted children but was focused on her career. Now that she only has to tour and perform when she wants, why not? She’s in better shape than most her age and younger, has plenty of help and plenty of money. I wish her and her husband well.

Yaya

But her eggs are still FIFTY! Being in good shape has nothing to do with her ability to carry a child, especially using her own eggs.

hmmm

Well if she is pregnant and her 50 year old eggs does make a baby that is healthy then your point is mute isnt it. Glad you know more than her doctor…lol

Its funny people knocking her decision to wait till she found a husband to love and have a family with. Just shows u how ass backwards a lot of u bitches really are. Be having big ass fatherless families then want a random new nigga to come love u and all the baggage babies and baby daddies u still giving your income tax to flip and u still aint seen no coins

Melanie

The issue issue is her age.Janet is 50! Shes already had a child.Thats not my concern.My question is what is she quitting? I never knew she had started back!

hmmm

Where have you ever seen Janet with a child? That rumor is so old and we have yet to see a baby. Im guessing that you didnt even read the article if you have to ask what shes quitting. The issue is her age, for you! Glad it isnt for her and her husband

Lisa

hmmmm you mad or nah? You don’t know anymore about Janet than anyone else does.

No one is asking any of YOU to start a family at age 49. She said this is HER choice. She has been working non-stop since she was a baby. Let her live her life now. Old ass men get married and make babies all the time and no one says a word. Technology and science have come a long way IFFFFFF she has any problem getting pregnant naturally at 49, and not all women do. I wish her the best if she wants to make babies with HER HUSBAND. Neither of them need your permission, consent, or approval. I’m CERTAIN that they have the best doctors that their BILLIONS can afford, so your social media medical license is not needed lol. By the way if she adopts, uses a surrogate, or carries herself, SHE DOESN’T OWE ANY OF YOU AN EXPLANATION. The fertility specialists in that region are top notch and they are far from broke so they can pay for whatever they need. I’m shocked at all the bitter Bettys mad at Janet for having a baby with her husband when THEY felt the time was right. FOH. Society is ass backward

hmmm

Thank you. I just said the same thing. You would of thought it was their uterus being used the way they are acting…lol

Plan family meaning she found out she was pregnant when she first announced the delay to her tour but wasn’t ready to announce it to the world. They kill me with these announcements within an announcement. Come out and just say you got knocked the “F” up! Lol

Take 8 years off to be an Arabian princess, schedule a tour and now cancel cause you want to start a family? GTFOH with that BS, why not start then??? This is a sham just like the one she’s been pulling this year postponing concerts and ripping people off. I was a huge fan, not after this

hmmm

Right cause she needs the money…lol cant you people just get your money back?

I think she’s already had the baby and she really started to miss that bonding time. Any real Janet knows this and knows that’s what the video and song “No Sleep” is all about, she’s getting no sleep because either the baby or her husband is keeping her up all night lol

hmmm

I think shes pregnant but with Janet, you neve know and you could be right…darn baby is probably walking. ..lol

I could be wrong, but I don’t believe she’s pregnant..who the HELL wait until they’re 50 and decide to start a family..I believe her shit wasn’t selling like she hoped and she decided to cancel/postpone. First the cancer..now a baby, but that’s none of my business. P.s. congrats!
